He does cite Rosen in this paper: Towards a Post Reductionist Science: The Open Universe http://arxiv.org/abs/0907.2492 which makes the absence of a citation in the later paper even more conspicuous. It reminds me of the answer Martin Davis gave me for not mentioning Tarski in his "Engines of Logic". (Great book, by the way.) I can't find the exact quote, but it was something like "He wasn't part of the story I was trying to tell." But it also reminds me of one of my favorite aphorisms: "Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence." -- attributed to Napolean Bonaparte -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-255-2847, http://tempusdictum.com The fear of death follows from the fear of life.
